A4
I am talking specifically about a twin engined jet with a contained engine failure or a shut down of one of the engines because of low oil pressure etc.
I may divert depending on distance to destination / landing weight issues / wx / airport facilities / engineering support. It is not a problem to get all hot under the collar about and in my book definately NOT a May Day.
That is the problem in the UK everything is a crisis.
Your the one in the flight deck with the failure what can anybody on the ground do to help? I suggest you sort the problem yourself and tell everyone later in the pub not to all the spotters with their airband receivers.
The problem may be a Pan but nothing else. Stop being an alarmist.
